Lactobacillus (LAB) genera are considered important functional food but are found to have a short shelf life. In this study, two LAB, Lactobacillus plantarum (Lp) and Lactobacillus rhamnosus (Lr), were isolated from sheep’s milk, and whole-genome sequencing was carried out by using 16s rRNA Illumina Nextseq, the Netherlands. The LAB were encapsulated by the lyophilisation technique using different lyoprotective pharmaceutical excipients. This process was carried out using a freeze dryer (U-TECH, Star Scientific Instruments, India). Shelf-life determination was carried out by a 12-month study using the viability survival factor (Vsf). The in vitro cell adhesion technique was carried out by using the red snapper fish along with autoaggregation and cell surface hydrophobicity as vital probiotic properties. It was observed that Lp has a significantly higher (P < 0.001) Vsf of 7.2, while Lr has a Vsf of 7 (P < 0.05) when both are encapsulated with 10% maltodextrin + 5% sucrose kept at 4°C for 12 months. The result demonstrated that Lp had significantly high (P < 0.05) cell adhesion, 96% ± 1.2 autoaggregation, and 6% cell surface hydrophobicity as compared to Lr. Moreover, this study demonstrated that lyophilised LAB with lyoprotective excipients enhances shelf life without any changes in probiotic properties when kept at 4°C exhibiting all its probiotic properties.

In this review we hope to explain regarding nanoparticles (NPs), Nanoparticles are very small materials that range from 1 to 100 nm size. And the subclasses of nanoparticles are mentioned. Nanomaterials are formulated by nanoparticles. Research on nanomaterials is used to improve in material technology and synthesis gained the support. Nanomaterials are gradually becoming popularized and starting to arise as commodities. Nanotechnology refers to a set of scientific disciplines and designing where peculiarities that occur at aspects in the nanometre scale are used in the plan, characterization, formulation and use of materials, structures gadgets and system. Here application of nanomaterial and nanotechnology is explained. The use of nanomaterials in the production of biosensors for detection of pathogens, formulation of nanomaterial-based biosensors for detection of antibiotics, Nanomedicines and the application of nanotechnology in food business Etc were discussed. Hazards and risk of nanomaterials are studied under nanotoxicology. Nanotechnology is ab arising science as would be considered normal to have quick areas of strength for improvements. It is anticipated to contribute altogether to financial development and occupation creation in the next few decades.

The present study aims to prepare a polyherbal formulation (PHF) of Azadirachta indica (Neem), Aloe barbadensis (Aloe vera), Allium sativum (garlic), Acacia arabica (Babul), and Aegle marmelos (Bel) and evaluation of antidiabetic and antioxidant activity utilizing the in vitro model. Air-dried powder of 5 medicinal plants, which are divided into equal portions, and PHF, is prepared by the soxhlet technique using polar and nonpolar solvents. The PHF is screened for the phytochemical screening, and then the antidiabetic activity is determined by alpha-amylase inhibition. The extracts thus obtained are also subjected to the inhibition assay by the use of (DNS) dinitro salicylic acid. The antioxidant activity was determined by the DPPH radical scavenging assay, H2O2 scavenging assay, and TBARS assay. In in vitro study, the result revealed polyherbal formulation in which hot water extract has the topmost inhibitory effect on alpha-amylase activity, ranging from 20.4% to 79.5% with an IC50 value of 48.98 ± 0.31 μg/ml. This extract clearly showed the effective lowering of postprandial hypertriglyceridemia (PPHG). In the antioxidant activity carried out by using the (DPPH) radical scavenging assay, the highest result was obtained by the concentration of 250 μg/ml, which was around 77.2 ± 0.05 with statistical significance compared with control (a: p < 0.01 ; b: p < 0.001 ), while in the GTA method, the highest result was obtained by the concentration of 250 μg/ml, which was around 78.2 ± 0.05, and in the case of the TBARS assay, the concentration of 250 μg/ml gave around 76.2 ± 0.03 anti-oxidant value. In conclusion, the study shows that polyherbal formulation has superior antidiabetic activity and antioxidant properties.

In the present investigation, Ichnocarpus frutescens, Ficus dalhousiae, Crateva magna, Alpinia galanga, and Swertia chirata plants were selected to formulate polyherbal tea bag. The infusion obtained from these polyherbal tea bags was used to formulate 5% and 10% ointment formulation to perform its wound healing activity. The excision wound model was used to assess the wound healing activity in diabetic as well nondiabetic rats. The mean percentage closure of wound area was calculated on the 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th, 18th, and finally 21st day. The wound healing activity of formulation was found to be significantly compared with that of the reference standard and untreated groups. The percentages of closure of excision wound area on the 21st day in diabetic animals treated with ointment formulations (F1 and F2) were found to be 93.91 ± 1.65% and 99.12 ± 5.21% respectively, whereas the chloramphenicol sodium drug solution was found to be 99.81 ± 3.16%. The percentages of closure of excision wound area in nondiabetic animals treated with ointment formulations (F1 and F2) were found to be 96.81 ± 2.04% and 98.13 ± 1.14%, respectively, whereas the chloramphenicol sodium drug solution was found to be 99.15 ± 1.41% at 21st day. Therefore, from the above results, we have concluded that this polyherbal ointment can be used clinically for the treatment of diabetic and nondiabetic wounds.

The current study was devised to develop alternative, nonantibiotic, and economically viable treatments for bovine mastitis. The concentration of 6.25 μg/mL (25 nm) CuNPs was selected as intramammary (IM) treatment in S. aureus-induced mastitis in rats as this concentration showed a significant zone of inhibition through the in vitro sensitivity test and minimal cell toxicity on fibroblast cell lines. After, this in vivo study was conducted, and rats were divided into four groups of 6 rats each: group I (healthy control/deionized water), group II (disease control), group III (CuNPs), and group IV (gentamicin). Injection of gentamicin IM for 5 days was selected on the basis of an antibiotic sensitivity test. The therapeutic efficacy of CuNPs was assessed on the basis of clinical signs, mammary gland architecture, bacterial load, oxidative stress parameters, and histopathology of mammary glands. The clinical signs of mastitis in group III ameliorated within 3 days of treatment while in group IV clinical signs ameliorated within 4 days of initiation of treatment. On the 5th day after randomization, bacterial load, mammary gland weights, TOS (Total Oxidant Status), and OSI (oxidative stress index) were significantly lower in the CuNPs group compared to the disease control group and commercial antibiotic group. Similarly, TAS of group III was significantly higher compared to that of groups II and IV indicating that CuNPs have better ameliorative efficacy in mastitis. Treatment with IM, CuNPs @ 6.25 μg/mL showed early recovery, reduced bacterial loads, and amelioration of oxidative stress indices henceforth resulting in marked amelioration in histopathological changes compared to rats in group IV. From this study, it may be concluded that CuNPs may provide a potential alternative therapeutic regimen for the treatment of bovine mastitis.
